One of the most popular polymers used in shoes is polyurethane (PU), and for good reason—waterproof, it’s lightweight, and durable.
PU is an excellent component in boots made for use in the industrial or construction sectors because it is also remarkably oil-resistant.
A subset of PU is called thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Modern sneakers are strengthened, lighter, and more comfortable thanks to the usage of plastics.
But shoes are extremely difficult to recycle because of the assortment of plastics that are “sewn, bonded, and moulded together in intricate ways.”
The footwear industry is constantly evolving. The drive to create new technologies that foresee emerging trends and shifting consumer needs is never-ending.
A shoe that is lighter, more energy-returning, slip-resistant, or has a special design made for walking around the neighbourhood or running marathons.
The global footwear plastics market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Consumers can now purchase the first biodegradable* shoe on the market thanks to the debut of BLUEVIEW, a new sustainable footwear company that is committed to saving the environment from plastic waste.
In order to make its first shoe, the BLUEVIEW Pacific, BLUEVIEW switches out petroleum plastics for plant-based plastics, revolutionising the footwear business.
This sneaker makes use of cutting-edge new plant-based materials like Soleic and PlantKnit to create a stylish and sustainable sneaker that offers a tonne of comfort and substantial durability.
Blueview is speeding the switch to bio-based footwear worldwide as part of its commitment to preserving the environment.
The first premium, renewable, and entirely biodegradable* Polyurethane foam in the world, Soleic, was created by BLUEVIEW after more than six years of research and development.
In order to manufacture BLUEVIEW shoes, the most comfortable shoes imaginable, Soleic foam is used to create the arch support, robust cupsole, and outsole.
The company created PlantKnit, the first machine knitted shoe upper made entirely of plants and 100% biodegradable, to complete the shoe.
Each pair of these functional and fashionable sneakers has a detachable organic canvas cotton strap so that customers can wear them as slip-ons or loafers.
